Dragos debuts Platform 3.0 to speed operational technology cyber defense

Industrial control system cybersecurity company Dragos Inc. today announced the launch of Dragos Platform 3.0, the latest update to its platform that delivers new capabilities that empower industrial defenders to protect faster against intensifying cyber threats.

The new platform introduces an Insights Hub that consolidates risk-based vulnerability, asset and threat alerts into a single prioritized view. It also offers streamlined workflows, artificial intelligence-enhanced vulnerability processes and smaller footprint deployment options that the company claims dramatically reduce time-to-value for industrial organizations.

Dragos’ 2025 OT Security Financial Risk Report, based on a study by Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Center, found that worst-case operational technology cyber incidents involving business interruption could put up to $172.4 billion at risk globally in a single year, with indirect costs comprising the majority of losses. Dragos argues that as adversaries compress attack timelines to weeks and even days, defenders need speed as well as trust in the intelligence and guidance they receive from their OT cybersecurity platform.

Dragos Platform 3.0 has been designed to meet this challenge head-on with new capabilities that streamline workflows, prioritize what matters most and deliver vulnerability analysis authored by Dragos’s OT threat intelligence experts and now using AI models to accelerate back-end operations.

Leading the list of new features is the new Insights Hub, which provides operators with a single prioritized view of their security posture. The hub enables quicker decisions and prioritized action by consolidating alerts into a risk-weighted summary. With Insights Hub, Dragos says, operators gain clear recommendations authored by OT cyber experts to accelerate triage and action, so they know exactly where to start and what to do next.

Dragos Platform 3.0 also introduces AI-enhanced vulnerability processes. The platform leverages AI technology to accelerate back-end vulnerability analysis processes to enable faster delivery of accurate OT contextualized vulnerability analysis.

The platform extends automated vulnerability identification to software and operating systems with Dragos’s proven “Now, Next, Never” risk prioritization methodology. The approach gives customers a clear view of exposures with practical, OT-safe guidance. As a result, it reduces workloads through intelligent prioritization rather than overwhelming security teams with alerts that can’t be acted upon.

Other new features and enhancements include new deployment options and cost models that make it possible to serve smaller sites with greater flexibility and accessibility. New device footprints, including a smaller STS-50 and combined Sensor/SiteStore, enable organizations to extend comprehensive OT visibility across their entire industrial footprint without compromising on security effectiveness.

Expanded Active Collection supports a range of new use cases, including air-gapped and intermittently connected sites, which extends visibility and vulnerability management to even the most isolated environments. The platform also now features simplified management through centralized sensor configuration and administration, along with streamlined integration capabilities that enhance workflows with both OT systems and information technology security operations.

“This represents our commitment to delivering not just advanced technology, but technology that truly serves our industrial community,” said Chief Product Officer Jodi Schatz. “Every innovation — from the redesigned user experience to the AI-enhanced vulnerability processes to the Insights Hub — is designed to reduce the burden on security teams while increasing their effectiveness.”
